A Mediterranean city was studied to examine the Urban Heat Island (UHI), with near-surface
temperature measurements at five locations in both urban and suburban areas over a nine …

This paper describes and evaluates physical parameterizations accounting for the effect of
rooftop mitigation strategies (RMSs) on the urban environment, in the context of the …

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the requirement to integrate the urban microclimate to
predict the energy needs of buildings. To do this, an integrated approach in TRNSYS …

The definition of accurate input datasets, appropriately representing urban morphology
characteristics, has been identified as a crucial point for improving the simulation of urban …

This work aims at assessing the ability of the Weather Research and Forecasting model,
coupled with a multilayer urban canopy scheme and a building energy model (BEP+ BEM) …

In the present work the mesoscale meteorological model Weather Research and
Forecasting (WRF), coupled with a multilayer urban canopy parameterization and a building …

Thermal comfort could indicate human thermal sensation when exposed to a local
meteorological condition. Because humans can suffer illness when exposed to heat or even …

The present paper provides a method to identify the appropriate time‐scales at which
turbulence components behave quasi‐isotropically. In particular, the scales are identified on …

Abstract Model-based studies investigating the spatial and temporal variability of air
temperature are commonly employed to assess heat mitigation strategies in cities. To …

In response to the global challenges brought on by climate change, cities around the world
are adapting, innovating through nature-based strategies for sustainable development …
